| Review breakdown | | |
| Most helpful review | | Great tool, would recommend to all my colleagues, must have for Flare translation Lingo is a must have tool for the proper translation of MadCap Flare resources. Lingo packages content from any of the programs in the MadPak Suite into a Lingo project which can be exported into XLIFF files so you can translate the files in the CAT tool of your choice. Then you simply import the XLIFF back into Lingo and you can export back to Flare.
Lingo makes the process go very smoothly. Updates and project alignment are also handled very efficiently. 1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
